If I could give 10 stars I would
If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!
Really made a difference
Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.
Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.
Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.
An incredibly helpful service
An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!
Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.
Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.
IT WORKS!! Not a scam!
I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

my freind waited 2 weeks than called and got aproved right away!! but my other freind waited 8 weeks and never called and was fine too. i think it depends on ur luck tbh
One important thing to remember is that regardless of how long your initial claim takes to process, you must continue filing your weekly claims on time. Even if the initial claim is still pending, those weekly certifications are essential. If you miss filing them, you could lose benefits for those weeks even after your claim is approved.
Thanks for the reminder! I've already started filing my weekly claims even though the initial one is still processing. Glad to know I'm doing something right!

wait i'm confused... so if u start a job but dont get paid for 2 weeks, how r u supposed to pay bills? seems like the system is designed to make ppl fail tbh
EXACTLY!!! The system is 100% rigged! They cut you off the second you start working even though employers can take their sweet time paying you. It's like they WANT people to be desperate and homeless!
Just to follow up on what everyone's saying - you definitely report based on when you work, not when you get paid. However, if you're worried about making ends meet, see if your new employer offers direct deposit. Many employers with two-week pay periods will still process your first week's pay sooner if you have direct deposit set up. Worth asking your HR department about this option.
Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely ask about direct deposit when I go in on Monday and see if that speeds things up at all.

UPDATE: Just checked my account again and it now shows 'processing-paid'! So I guess it does go through that middle stage after all. Thanks everyone for your help and explanations. Hoping it changes to 'paid' soon and the deposit hits my account by tomorrow.

Something I've noticed that might be helpful - if your payment status changes to "paid" on a Friday after about 2pm, it usually won't hit your bank until Tuesday due to the weekend delay plus processing time. The ESD website doesn't explain this anywhere, but it's been consistent in my experience. Different banks also have different processing times for incoming ACH transfers.
That's good to know, thanks! Mine changed to "processed" Friday morning, but still hasn't updated to "paid" yet. I'll keep checking throughout the weekend, but sounds like Tuesday is probably the earliest I might see anything based on what everyone's saying.
Just to clarify something important: there's a difference between "processed" and "paid" in the ESD system. "Processed" means your payment has been approved and is queued for payment. "Paid" means the funds have been released to your bank or debit card. Once it shows "paid," it typically takes 1-2 business days for the money to actually appear in your account, depending on your bank's processing times. Since your adjudication was just resolved Thursday, and it's showing as "processed" now, you'll likely see it change to "paid" on Monday, with funds arriving Tuesday or Wednesday.

Good idea! Just checked spam and found nothing from ESD, but I did add esd.wa.gov to my safe senders list to make sure future emails don't get filtered. Thanks!
